An Indian-origin former Post Office manager in England, Seema Misra, rejects an apology from a former Post Office boss during a public inquiry into an accounting scandal. Misra, wrongly convicted and jailed while eight weeks pregnant, had her conviction quashed in April 2021. Former Post Office Managing Director David Smith apologized for a congratulatory email sent after her conviction, acknowledging it caused distress. Misra, however, refuses to accept the apology, highlighting the years of ordeal and lack of apology during her wrongful conviction's overturning. The inquiry delves into the Post Office's faulty Horizon IT system, impacting numerous sub-postmasters, including many of Indian heritage.
